Kaifeng Prefecture, Yanjin County, Linting Post

"When I came out, all the demons and monsters jumped out and put the memo. The master said there was a memo to impeach you, Second Master. But I left in a hurry. Before the person behind, someone would continue to send a message. The master had arranged it and took turns to take turns

Fast horse, no delay."

Although he knew that Shen Rui had sent someone to guard the outside, Wang Jianzi subconsciously looked around and made a gesture to ask Shen Rui to lean over and listen.

His voice was extremely low, "The boss said that the matter of Zongfan was so hard that he stepped into the mud pit. The second master thought twice and would rather not do it than dirty his own family."

Shen Rui couldn't help but look solemn.

Zhang Hui's words were very clear, and he almost didn't say a name.

He asked someone to carry the exhausted Wang Jianzi to rest. Shen Rui sat in the room for a long time before he called him to call He Taizhi and his aide Mr. Xie.

He lowered his voice and said the matter.

He Taizhi was immediately furious. Taking into account the fact that he was at the post station, he suppressed his voice and gritted his teeth and cursed: "It must be Zhang Liang, the bastard! When I go back to Beijing, I will kill this grandson!"

Shen Rui's anger and depression were even worse than He Taizhi, because he had worried about whether he would turn to King Ning when Zhang Liang did not return to Jiangxi to observe mourning many years ago.

However, Zhang Liang has not done anything over the years, and Shen Rui is busy with local construction and has not had time to pay much attention to Zhang Liang.

I never thought that Ning Fan could use such a move at this time!

Because of Shen Rui's operation, no one in the court had the nerve to praise the Taimiao Sixiang, the young master of Ningfu. The old foxes in the court also saw the emperor's attitude, and would not stand up.

In this way, Shen Li's "letter" of Jingtang is quite conspicuous. Those who were bribed and pretended to be confused when they see such "leaders", they will rush forward and follow the letter to support the young master of Ning Mansion.

.

"The emperor must be so angry." He Taizhi and Shou Ge have been together for many years and know Shou Ge's bad temper very well. "The emperor knows Li Liu Ge's character, so he won't take his anger? Second Brother Zhang, Lord Liu

(Liu Zhong) I will definitely speak for Li Liu Ge. At best, it is...it's..."

I don’t know if he said this to comfort Shen Rui or himself.

Shen Rui patted his shoulder and said nothing.

Mr. Xie looked at Shen Rui and said in a deep voice: "Ning Fan's move is also a blow to the adults. This matter will inevitably affect the adults' layout in Henan. The emperor will not disbelief, but the public's words will make money and destroy them.

The Lord must now tear the vassal matter into understanding.”

He is indeed an aide who has always been with the Minister of Rites, and he really knows the affairs of the vassal state.

Shen Rui sighed in his heart. Mr. Xie's words hit his hidden worries.

The impeachment of Shen Rui in the previous dynasty was all about his actions against Zhao Fan, which caused the unstable situation of Zong Fan.

And at this moment, it must be said that he had a rapport with the Zhao Mansion, and he was meant to "Taimiao Sixiang".

Shen Rui's various arrangements were to promote the momentum of the young master of Ning's family in Beijing.

The prince of Zhao was "supportable" because of his historical reason why the first king of Zhao had planned to fight for the throne, as long as Shouge or Xuanmiao was still in power, the Zhao Mansion was not able to be selected as the Taimiao Sixiang.

Therefore, if we talk about stabbing the lung tube of King Ning and stirring up the "Taimiao Sixiang" in the matter, the Prince of Zhao is really a safe and effective option.

In fact, in the deepest part of Shen Rui's heart, because he is familiar with the future historical trend, he has always used the idea of ​​Zhu Houyu, the prince of Zhao, who is passionate about education and loves the people, as an alternative to Zhu Houcong, a Jiajing.

Of course, bloodline is always a big problem.

However, when Xuanmiao Yishi was not in power, when Zhu Houyu had the potential to be a "virtuous king", when everyone from Shilin to the market knew that Prince Zhao was diligent in studying and reading, and cherishing the people, he was "both virtuous and talented" and "like" in this place. Under the huge halo of "the Temple of Filial Piety", the cabinet leaders should also consider it.

However, now, if someone deliberately pushes him to the conspirator and ambitious family, no matter whether the bosses in the court or the emperor believe it or not, as long as they plant the seeds of doubt, they accumulate over time and destroy the bones, and eventually they will not be destroyed. He and the Zhao Mansion were also unavoidable.

In the future, if Zhengde's reign was really only sixteen years, then the one who was promoted to Jiajing or others, and if he turned up old accounts, the entire Shen clan might be destroyed.

Shen Rui stood up and solemnly bowed to Mr. Xie and He Taiyi, "Rui wants to ask Mr. and Zhong'an for something."

The two of them were so panicked that they quickly got up and returned the salute. He Taizhi was even more uneasy. Because of their relatives, the Shen family called him Tai Geer, and when did they call him so serious?

"If you have any questions, just give me instructions. This is so scary." He Taizhi said hurriedly.

Mr. Xie also said, "My sir is so serious."

Shen Ruixian said to Mr. Xie: "I want to invite Mr. Huaiqing Prefecture to meet Fanchang and the Prince of Lujiang."

Before the Zheng King's line, there were many princes who had no sons and were eliminated in the country, and their population was not prosperous. Now the remaining princes of Dongyuan who were seeking to inherit the Zheng King were Fanchang and Lujiang. .

The Dongyuan County Prince Zhu Youqian is the eldest son of the fourth son of the second generation of Zheng King Zhu Qi and the fourth son of the second generation.

Today, the princes of Lujiang are Zhu Qi and Zhu's nine sons and ten sons.

Both are side branches, and the two uncles are not Chengjue's turn, so they ask their nephew to run to invite Chengjue first. If they are convinced, it would be strange.

What's more, now that the nephew is trying to make trouble, the title of King Zheng is gone.

"I will collect the case of the Prince's Mansion of Dongyuan County, and persuade Fanchang, and Lujiang cooperate with disaster relief and Qingzhang." Mr. Xie said with a twist, "It is impossible to restore the title of Zheng, but after all, fighting for the title of Prince is just a fight for the title of Prince. It’s just a Lumi King’s Village. At that time, the emperor will give them the confiscated farmland. Wouldn’t it be affordable and decent?”

Tian Feng and Wan Dongjiang had sent the news from Huaiqing Mansion. Dongyuan hated Shen Rui because of the vassal regulations and spread rumors and slandered Shen Rui.

Mr. Xie had long wanted to deal with Dongyuan, but it was important to rush to Kaifeng before the New Year, so he put it there first. Now, it was just a pot of steamed rice.

The old man looked at Shen Rui and said meaningfully: "The 'Crime' is also happy to see more 'virtuous kings' in Henan."

Shen Rui nodded, that's exactly what he meant.

It is because of "ulterior motives" to praise King Zhao, but what about Henan everywhere?

That is, it is not that Shen Rui has ambitions, but that he has the ability, which is a great political achievement.

"There are also a few people who work hard during the New Year, and there are still bandits in Huaiqing Mansion, which is a bit of a risk... But Brother Tai is young and has no experience, so I can promise those two people that I have too few things. I want to say They can only ask the sir to take action."

Shen Rui said apologetically, "I want to ask Wang Jianzi to protect his husband. Tian Feng and Wan Dongjiang have been there for some time, so they will be able to protect Mr. For no reason."

Mr. Xie laughed and said, "My lord is too worried. Although I am a literati, I have also walked through some places. This old bone can withstand the wind and rain."

Shen Rui thanked him and said to He Taizhi: "Zhong'an, I want to work for you to go to Kaifeng as soon as possible to meet the King of Zhou."

The current Zhou king Zhu Mu was one of the first vassal kings to write a letter to support the vassal regulations. Because like Zhao Fan, Zhou Fan's succession of titles was also a good battle.

Just when the Ministry of Rites refused to inherit the title of the Zheng Mansion, it took the case of Zhou Fan's throne in the 13th year of Hongzhi as an example-

Zhu An, the father of the eighth generation Zhou king Zhu Mu, was made the crown prince as his concubine's son, and his younger brothers who were both concubines were dissatisfied. Several groups of people including Zhu An, were both confused about the rogues and rogues, and often

Fighting each other.

When the sixth generation of King Zhou passed away, several people even broke up and the fight escalated, alarming local officials, governors and others came to settle the case.

However, before the examination was found, Zhu An died suddenly.

The princess immediately wrote a letter to appoint his young eldest son Zhu Mu Chengjue.

Those princes who were born in ill are simply crazy. One of them invaded the prince's concubine, and the other went to "expose" the prince's concubine's sexual intercourse, saying, "The concubine is not upright and her son cannot be inherited."

Later, he falsely accused the King of Zhou as Zhu An, poisoned and killed him, etc.

At that time, Xiaomiao ordered the eunuch Wei Zhong and the Minister of Justice He Jian to investigate the case and arrested a thousand people in a row to find out the case.

When Xiaomiao learned of the behavior of several people, he was furious and demoted the relevant people to common people and imprisoned Fengyang.

Zhu Mu was awarded the title of King Zhou in the 14th year of Hongzhi, and was only eight years old at that time.

In the third year of Zhengde, the King of Zhou suddenly wrote a letter to ask for a title for his concubine, saying that he would like to grant his brother the title as the descendants of the Zhou vassal Ruyang Palace.

However, the Ministry of Rites found out that his mother was a music girl, and she refused to give her a title, and then investigated the descendants of the Ruyang Palace, which were also a descendant, so that the title was also dismissed.

If it were said that King Zhou did not intentionally, Shen Rui absolutely did not believe it.

After the Regulations of the Clan of the Clan of the Clan of the Clan of the Clan of the Jiangxi Clan, the King of the Zhou Dynasty also actively supported him. When King Ning reported that the Clan of the Jiangxi Clan was illegal, he also reported that the Zhou Dynasty's mansion wanted the Yang County Lord Yibin Wang Huan to drink and be lewd, and later Wang Huan was dismissed from office.

civil.

It can be seen that the Zhou Fan has not been peaceful yet.

The King of Zhou would probably be happy to see the government come forward to remove those "unaware of advancing and retreating" Zong branches.

I guess I really hope that my son can become the crown prince and inherit the title. Don’t suffer many twists and turns like he and his father did in the past.

In this way, Shen Rui can "exchange" more things.

"You said, the emperor gave us the authority to "do things cheaply" to clean up the vassals like Zhu Youqing who would harm the local vassals. As the Minister of Rites, I investigated the "peanuts and life" of each government, and was the Zhou Dynasty.

The eldest son of the king asked to be the crown prince, and these are all responsibilities."

Shen Rui said, "Of course, if the King of Zhou can get the emperor's praise of the 'Victorian', these things will be more smooth. Especially if you ask the crown prince, I will report it to the Ministry of Rites, the clan's mansion, and the emperor finally decided.

.”

The King of Zhou wanted more and Shen Rui could afford it, so it was not as simple as cooperating with Qingzhang and disaster relief.

You have to look at King Zhao anyway.

He Taizhi also heard Li Yu's analysis of the feudals, and nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, second brother, I will do it."

"I will send a letter to Ma Bingran and Lord Ma. If you have any questions, go find him." Shen Rui said.

Ma Bingran was originally a participant in Henan, but later transferred to Shandong to be promoted to Right Administrator. He worked with Shen Rui for a while, and was transferred back to Henan this year to become Left Administrator.

When Ma Bingran was in Shandong, he was a member of the government and the governor of the left was Yuan Qin, who was a member of the government, and he was a member of the government. He was originally a schoolless person, so he naturally became friendly with these two people.

Shen Rui's political achievements in Dengzhou were really shining, and Ma Bingran was also interested in making friends. Later, Shen Rui was promoted to Shandong Right Sponsor, and the two also had a happy cooperation.

This time, Shen Rui also came to Henan. The two sides had already passed several letters and reached a consensus on many policies. Ma Bingran was looking forward to Shen Rui's arrival soon.
